Tuning: Capo 1
***Note: This is tabbed novice but there are two Bm, you can play the barred Bm,
or you can play the easy Bm. Since there are only two it doesn't really make a difference.
Intro: Cadd9D
Verse 1:
GCadd9D
Met him on the edge of a goodbye
GCadd9D
I was standing there with nowhere left to fly
CD
I was young but ever grim
GDCadd9
A little wiser than my time had seen
AmG
You told me about the places we could hide
GCadd9D
Wild and kinda crazy most of the time
GCadd9D
My heart was hangin' on his every line
CD
I'd memorize his every thought
GDCadd9
But the walls he had could never be brought down
AmG
And now he's not around
AmD
I guess I'm just a face left in the crowd
Chorus:
Cadd9D
Oh, California
GCadd9GD
Please come back to me
Cadd9D
Oh, California
GCadd9Am
You're who I wanna be
Cadd9DG
Live inside of me
Verse 2:
GCadd9D
A vivid picture plays inside my head
GCadd9D
Of things you swore we'd never do again
CD
Then he put on that LA face
GDCadd9
And he left me with a bittersweet taste of life
AmD
And that's enough to keep me alive
Chorus:
Cadd9D
Oh, California
GCadd9GD
Please come back to me
Cadd9D
Oh, California
GCadd9Am
You're who I wanna be
Cadd9DG
Live inside of me
Bridge:
BmDCadd9G
I know you're lyin' somewhere in the arms of destiny
BmD
Your memory, it still lingers here
Cadd9D
And I'll never set it free, Ohhh (continues into chorus)--
Chorus:
Cadd9D
--Ohhhh, (California)
GCadd9GD
Please come back to me
Cadd9D
Oh, California
GCadd9Am
You're who I wanna be
Cadd9DAm
Live inside of me
Cadd9DG
Live inside of me
